# by default, django 404 and 500 pages dont pass context to templates.
# as you almost *always* need context variables in your custom 
# 404/500 templates, you might need MEDIA_URL for example
#
# you need to create a custom view for errors and register it in your urls.py
#
# in urls.py add :

# handler500 = handler404 = views.server_error

Twitter autoresponder bot

By Daniel15 (dan.cx) This is a very simple Twitter autoresponder bot. It requires PECL OAuth extension to be installed (run "pecl install oauth", or if on Windows, grab php-oauth.dll. If using cPanel you can install it via WHM). The authentication is designed for command-line usage, it won't work too well via a web browser. You'll have to sign up for an application on Twitter's site to get the consumer key and secret.

Could be modified to be more advanced (match regular expressions to answer questions, etc.)

Questions? See my blog post - http://dan.cx/blog/2011/06/twitter-autoreply-bot-dbznappa

Modified 2013-06-13 - Twitter API 1.0 discontinued, modified to use Twitter API 1.1

One-line Tree in Python

Using Python's built-in defaultdict we can easily define a tree data structure:

def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)

That's it!

Mathematics: What do grad students in math do all day?

by Yasha Berchenko-Kogan

A lot of math grad school is reading books and papers and trying to understand what's going on. The difficulty is that reading math is not like reading a mystery thriller, and it's not even like reading a history book or a New York Times article.

The main issue is that, by the time you get to the frontiers of math, the words to describe the concepts don't really exist yet. Communicating these ideas is a bit like trying to explain a vacuum cleaner to someone who has never seen one, except you're only allowed to use words that are four letters long or shorter.

What can you say?

Using Dnsmasq with Ubuntu for VM web application testing

When running virtual machines under a Linux host system for testing web apps in various browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer), I found it rather tedious having to continually tweak the hosts file within each VM for the purpose of adding entries pointing back to the host machine's development web server address.

Instead the steps below will setup Dnsmasq on a Ubuntu 16.04LTS, 14.04LTS or 12.04LTS host machine for the purpose of serving both it's own DNS queries and that of virtual machine guests. Dnsmasq will parse the /etc/hosts file on your host machine where we will keep a single set of DNS entires to our test web application(s).

• Method 1
  • Ubuntu 16.04LTS / 14.04LTS
  • Ubuntu 12.04LTS
• Method 2
  • Stop NetworkManager running it's own Dnsmasq
